Parenting is always a hard job, but parenting is made even harder by the fact that we simply don't have access to the neurobiology and child development research that we need to know how influence our child's well being.
We are here to help individuals and families build a happier and more connected lifestyle. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs out there and its made more difficult when your child is going through something like ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, ODD, or behavioral issues. We are here to help parents, kids, teens and families to over come these difficulties.

HOPE is what initiates change. Imagine a life where your family was no longer defined by your child's trauma, fear, sadness, guilt, shame, or anger. What a freeing experience that would be! An individual can only be as happy as their least happy loved one- as hurt occurs within the context of relationships, so does healing. Hoping for a stable, safe, and happy family is what marks readiness for therapy. Little people with big problems may effortlessly grow into big people with bigger problems, so the critical nature of childhood and adolescence provides opportunity to shift this life trajectory.

I have clinical experience in working with adults, teens, and children of various walks of life.
Maybe you feel overwhelmed with juggling it all: work, relationships, your children/their needs, etc. Maybe it feels difficult to feel present or connected to yourself/others. Whether therapy is for you, your teen, or your child, trying to figure out how to feel "unstuck" or how to cope can be difficult. Sometimes life throws experiences that can leave a person feeling confused, hopeless, or discouraged. My approach in counseling is trauma-informed as I recognize that every person has had struggles that have made them question themselves or their direction in life.

Disruptions in relationships regularly occur in life and the experience of feeling disconnected is not uncommon. Many of us have experienced children growing older and leaving home, job loss, retirement, frequent arguments with those closest to us, divorce, separation, and death of loved ones. Some of us have experienced life threatening events, serious illnesses and physical losses that result in a dramatic shift on how we fit into the world and in the lives of others. These events can result in a loss of satisfaction in life or at times a loss of hope in having a life worth living.
